The Grassy Run Heritage Rendezvous is the largest living history event in Southwest Ohio and has been for almost 30 years. Due to Covid restrictions we had to cancel in 2020 and 2021, but now we are back and have moved to a new location. Thanks to the Goshen Township Historical Society we are holding our rendezvous on the grounds of the Cook Log Cabin Heritage Center and, thanks to Goshen Local Schools, have the use of the field behind the high school, which is next to the heritage center and both share the parking lot. The address is 6707 Goshen Road, Goshen, Ohio, 45122.
Though not juried we do require compliance with keeping the feel of a pre-1840 encampment, both in accoutrements and trade goods. We will have demonstrations in leather working, rope making, wood working, writing with a quill pen, spinning and weaving, electricity in the 18th century, and whatever else anyone would like to offer. Storytellers and musicians will also be in attendance, along with a native drum circle.
Friday, April 29, will be our school day, with both public and private schools invited, along with homeschoolers. The hours are from 9 AM to 3 PM. The public will be invited in on Saturday, April 30, from 10 AM until 6 PM and on Sunday, May 1, from 11 AM until 3 PM. General admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children 6 to 17 years of age as well as for seniors 65 and older. Children 5 and under and active military with ID are free.
